History and Tradition of Colombian Ruana Production
The ancestral production of ruanas (traditional woolen capes) in Colombia dates back to pre-Columbian indigenous cultures, where communities wove garments with alpaca, llama, or sheep wool to protect themselves from the cold in mountainous regions. With Spanish influence in the 16th century, loom weaving techniques were introduced, expanding the variety of designs and patterns, fusing indigenous and European traditions.

Today, the making of ruanas remains an artisanal art deeply rooted in Colombian cultural identity. Each region has its unique style, from the colorful geometric designs of the Andean region to the more subdued tones of Boyacá. Expert weavers continue using wool from Andean sheep, keeping this ancestral legacy alive.
